    Just added GBTA. Does it look like it will live?
    It is moving, and some of the tentacles are "bubbling up"

    If you just added it, it will take some time to open up. It looks ok to me so far.
    How old is your tank?
    And what are your water parameters?

    looks normal for new tank. I hope your pumps are covered because mine seemed to be drawn to them.

    Ive been having a similar problem today. I got mine too. I just put it on the sand bed and its closed and looked like yours but more gray. How long did it take for yours to start moving and look good.

    well i got package at work at 1030 put it in tank in bag to aclimate at 230 and then actually put in water around 6 oclock, and it started moving within minutes, and has progressively looked better and better.
